But as off, and wrong as Payton/Loomis have been on some of the early round talent, is as spot on, and as domiant as they have been on some of the mid to late round talent, as well as kicking ass in free agency. Shouldn't they get credit for that...... And since we are talking reps.....
Under Payton/Loomis - Best small school late round selection ever..... - One of the best TE's the saints have ever had - Selected the best guard in the league currently IJS |

In other words your more than likely going to find that player that contributes in the draft, not the breakout star who contributes significantly. For instance, Jermon Bushrod (BTW small school.... Towson....5th round selection!!!!) ..... Success.... Why because he has seen a large amount of his teams snaps good bad or other wise. Of the player's that are drafted only a small percentage of those will be walk off home runs (Jimmy Graham) - Just because we have a low batting percentage doesn't mean we don't occasionally hit a homer or two!!!! |

Re: Are Loomis /Payton as good as their draft reputation?
You know the draft ain't everything. Every year there are second year free agents that mature and make teams. When you have a Superbowl capilar team, you are going to cut a boatload of rookies. This is a good thing.

Do you think the draft matters at all? If all 6 of our draft picks fail to even make the team next year, does that amount to anything? If that happens 6 years in a row does it matter? I'm of the opinion that drafts do matter. |
